Ouch. First day of wearing, the right boot wore a blister in my heel. It did not matter how tight or loosely I tried lacing it, it rubbed like mad. The left boot was fine, don't ask me why. I was looking for a boot that had ankle support, and enough cushion to keep my heels happy. I LOVE the all day sneakers meant for people like nurses who have to stay on their feet for long periods of time, and the hilo moccasins. But these boots are not cutting it. They have a bad seam right where the heel moves and that's what has done it... bad inner construction. They fit well otherwise and the support was good, but I can't walk in them!

I love these boots!!!! They are now my everyday footwear. Absolutely no break in time- comfortable right out of the box. I usually wear size 10, but got 9 1/2’s instead and they’re perfect.

I've been using Ariat products, especially boots, for over 30 years. This is the first pair of barn boots I've had that were a huge disappointment. I've had them about 2.5 years and I wear them 3-4 days a week for 2-3 hours max. I don't ride in them, I keep them clean and conditioned, and they still abandoned me lol. They are not very cushy, and while they're marketed as "waterproof", I can tell you they survived maybe 5 heavy water days and now they leak in a tiny puddle. To compare, I have a pair of Ariat paddock boots that I use a similar amount and they've been with me over 10 years! I emailed Ariat and they said they're out of warranty and offered me a 25% off coupon. While I do appreciate the offer, I'm more disappointed in the serious decline in quality. Looking elsewhere for new boots.

These are absolutely the best work boots I have ever worn! I am a firefighter and EMT and have worn these in every type of weather and my feet always stay warm and dry. They are so comfortable that I have purchased three pair of them, putting two pair up to save. Well worth the money!
